Heather Dileepan knows the importance of building a personal brand because she knows how painful it is to grow your business as a solopreneur without one. In this episode, she gave us a candid look at her career path from salaried marketing professional to successful copywriter, and all the obstacles she faced while learning to run her business.
Here are some takeaways from our conversation:
- As a solopreneur, you’re responsible for wearing all the hats in your business and it takes time to adjust. Be flexible and show grace to yourself.
- Every business is unique. It’s important to remind yourself that you’re building something that works best for you, not doing your best to replicate the celebrity entrepreneurs in your industry.
- Building a solid brand requires time and energy. Ask yourself the deep questions about what makes you different before you’re forced to do it.
